Abstract (en)

An anti-vibration controller (86) having an ON/OFF switch (88) for the anti-vibration is arranged on the outer circumference of a fixed lens barrel (22) where extender lenses are positioned. When to manipulate the ON/OFF switch (88), a cameraperson (100) manually operates a focusing ring (92) with the little and ring fingers, a zooming ring (94) with the middle finger and an iris ring (96) with the index finger, all of the left hand. Then he or she can manipulate the ON/OFF switch (88) of the anti-vibration controller (86) fitted to the outer circumference of the fixed lens barrel (22) with the unengaged thumb without having to move the fingers away from manipulating rings (92, 94, 96). <IMAGE>
